Barcelona are reportedly open to selling first team players this summer as long as the departures can be used to bring in other signings to strengthen the squad.

According to Diario Sport, Barcelona are open to offers, with defenders Alejandro Balde, Jules Koundé and Ronald Araujo all mentioned as possible players who could be sold.

The report claims that Barcelona want at least €50 million for Balde who is no longer considered to be one of the team’s “untouchables.”

There have been speculation that Aston Villa are willing to spend big on Balde, but it remains to be seen if there is any truth to those rumors.

Barcelona aren’t in a rush to sell but Sport say “the club’s idea is not to sell out of necessity, but to sell only if that operation really helps to improve the squad.”

The Catalans want to improve their squad this summer but are once again facing financial difficulties. The club are still yet to return to the 1:1 rule, with La Liga president Javier Tebas claiming they are on the “right track.”
